Book excerpt: Twenty-two-year-old Anna’s unconventional family is prone to raising eyebrows: she lives with two eccentric dads in a small town in rural KwaZulu-Natal and, after surviving her parents’ divorce, she’s used to the questioning glances of conservative Afrikaans family members and curious neighbours. Now, amid a menagerie of pets and her kaftan-clad mother, Anna must manage the ailing health of one of her dads. Her experiences on her reporter’s beat don’t make her days any easier. But how do you remain a supportive daughter and still live your own life? Told with warmth and gentle humour, The Paper House is a celebration of life, love and the family that shapes us.
